Welcome to VELOCIPEDE SALON.
VSalon currently allows unregistered guests to view the forum. If you want to participate - and we hope you do - please sign up and wait for one of our good looking moderators to approve. You do not need an invite! Please be aware when you request membership we ask for a real name with contact info. Screen names and cryptic email addresses are okay, but no one is accepted in the community without real life/real world credentials.
A moderator will contact you, just say hi and and how you found us. We'll wait to hear back from you.
Please note: This is a work place friendly forum and only ask you honor this and help keep the discussions lively.
Dear friends, you are here because you found this or someone told you about this place. This really is a salon. It says so right here, go ahead and look!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_(gathering). This Salon is where bicycle artisans, industry types, racers, cyclists, bicyclists and their friends exchange in a comfortable setting. We bring some history but none of the bags with us from our former fav. places to hangout. Nuff said. There are ground rules for everyone to follow, most are explained in the agreement (below). This Salon is meant to remain work place friendly. Don't ask us what the color of the kit is. This will cause immediate removal from the Salon!!! Sorry, we voted and that's the way it is.
This Salon is operated by volunteers who donate lots of hard work, insight and generosity. Feed the moderators beers and give lots of karma, they are "easy"...I made sure of that. :)
Warm Regards, Too Tall and our handsome staff of volunteers

"...Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might be positioning herself as a VP candidate.
It will be curious to see what she does and how she strategizes the next few months..."

Very easy, @j44ke. Secretary of State Clinton simply makes an educated guess on who she thinks is the likely 2020 Democrat candidate.
If VP Biden or Senator Sanders miraculously defeats President Trump, she is presumptive ancient Democrat candidate in 2024 or 2028.

I mean the hubris..

No argument there. But there's also no election structure you can come up with where Bernie wins in 2016. He lost the primary popular vote, the delegate count, whatever metric you can come up with. And his long promised coalition has not materialized at all in 2020. If anything, he's performing worse because he's not running with real voter Clinton antipathy.

There again appears to be no credible path for him to nomination, and yet here's Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill yet again.

Agreed there's plenty of blame to go around, but Bernie also deserves his fair share for an absolutist approach to campaigning. It's certainly within his rights, but let's not act like the party he only cosplays as a member of every 4-6 years lacks a legit argument for his spitting in the proverbial soup.

No, I mean show information that backs up this supposition. Or is this just something of your own invention? If so, indicate that.
